Wow, just f'ing wow. . .look at all the Obama hate tonight. Oh my some people must be nervous!

[wndycty]

I have been away from the DU for a while and I'm shocked, shocked I tell you by all of the Obama/Oprah hate today. Its pretty interesting.

[jenmito]

1. The Obama haters are just like Bush and co.-they smear anyone even associated with the person.

Suddenly Oprah's the devil, not talented, washed up, arrogant, selfish, and on and on and on. It's unbelievable how jealous they are!

[Clintonista2]

42. Funny for a Hillary hater to be saying that. n/t.

[CTLawGuy]

2. they are really nervous

and are turning up the heat.

[jenmito]

5. They're flailing around, just like the Hillary campaign. They've lost the "inevitability factor"

and have nothing else but to attack. :shrug:

[loveangelc]

3. i know right

honestly i dont understand why the animosity...everyone knows good and well they wouldnt have a problem if she were campaigning with their preferred candidate. like i said, if you dont like the fact that she is endorsing barack obama...well, you don't have to like it. dont fucking like it. but stop making endless new oprah threads, get over it and keep it moving.

[journalist3072]

4. Please! DU is nothing but a Obama lovefest.....I really love hearing the excuses that the Obama

apologists make for him....They are very creative.

[IndianaGreen]

6. The Clintonistas are enraged that we are not endorsing their Queen-in-waiting

They already submitted their resumes for the Hillary 44 Administration, and were expecting their portfolios increase as Bush's corporate sponsors gave way to Hillary's corporate sponsors, and all those juicy government contracts that would follow the Hillary coronation.

Democracy is so unpredictable, isn't it?

[jefferson_dem]

20. The coronation has been canceled...

And many of our friends here are hopping mad. It WAS HER TURN!!! :cry:

[tammywammy]

7. You should have seen it yesterday

[Pirate Smile]

8. It's been like this all weekend.

:crazy:

[Progress And Change]

9. we will all be supporting obama if he wins the nomination. no one hates mr obama

[jenmito]

11. Not all of you, but I can't mention names when the person isn't here.

n/t

[silverweb]

10. It's always the same people.

There's a core group that's always involved, with a dozen or so peripheral clones.

Barack and Michelle and Oprah were fantastic this weekend and yes, it is making some people nervous! :D

[MGKrebs]

12. Welcome to the spotlight.

[MonkeyFunk]

13. Heheh

welcome to my world.

[Occam Bandage]

14. Welcome to Iowa Frontrunner status.

Wait until you become the national frontrunner.

[David Dunham]

15. Hillary will come from behind and beat Obama in Iowa.

[Occam Bandage]

16. That's a possibility, and the most likely one IMO.

[jenmito]

18. Nah. Too late. Her inevitability factor is gone. She went negative, her husband started whining,

and Obama is now getting the attention and support he deserves. People are jumping Hillary's sinking ship and getting on the Obama train!

[snowbear]

How can she come from behind when she's in the lead?

Or if not in the lead.. at least clumped up in a threesome with Obama and Edwards.

What I think will happen:

Iowa will throw us all for a loop and will select none of the above.

They'll choose Biden, Richardson or Dodd.

[JI7]

23. sorry, but the attacks on Oprah herself is what stands out here

it's one thing to attack the candidate but all this crap about how much of a Democrat Oprah is and other shit ?

[Harper_is_Bush]

17. No doubt you were posting "wow, just f'ing wow...look at all the Hillary hate tonight."...

..while that was going on?

If not, then I guess that means you were nervous then?

[Occam Bandage]

21. If I were an Obama supporter, I would have been scared out of my mind back

in October. I'm sure they were.

[jefferson_dem]

19. Consider it a testament to the Man's success.

[frazzled]

22. It is indeed ugly, but probably no more so than ...

the Hillary hate I also see here a lot of the time.

But these things are instructive. Watching the early years of the nation fall under the sway of the Bush administration, I felt for the first time that I could understand how Europeans fell under the sway of fascism.

Now, watching all these vituperative, hyperbolic accusations flying around on all sides, I really understand how the Terror developed during the French Revolution. Hell, many of the most ardent supporters of the Revolution ended up with their heads in the basket after being accused of royalist sentiments (sort of like the charges of "corporatist!" that pass for commentary around here). I fully expect a guillotine to be dragged out here one day. It won't be pretty.

[JPettus]

24. Oh horse crap

DU's been this way for a few months now with large groups of people pushing their candidate and trashing everybody else's candidate. I've started avoiding most of the candidate threads since I am just tired of watching it.

[liberalmuse]

25. Tonight? LOL, where have you been?

It's been non-stop here for quite some time. I don't go into the candidate-bashing threads. Things are bad enough without reading some of the stupid, vapid, petty reasons we shouldn't vote for such-and-such. My only requirement at this point is that the candidate doesn't have an "R" after their name.

[TeamJordan23]

26. They have nothing nice to say about their candidate's campaign (HRC), so they can only attack Oprah!

[BeyondGeography]

27. The funny part is, sooner or later, Obama will be the face, heart and soul of this party

If this is about more than bruised feelings, they've got a long road of pain ahead of them.

[Progress And Change]

33. obama is inevitable. why don't we all just stop the process and bow down to him?

[BeyondGeography]

35. Who's your candidate again?

[Skip Intro]

28. Maybe some people are kinda repulsed at the idea of some trumped up celebrity

telling them who to vote for.

It could be that.

[Joe the Revelator]

29. Yeah, Celebrities never endorse candidates.

You're scared of the power of an Oprah endorsment. Deal with it.

[Skip Intro]

32. ROFL!!!!!!

Yeah man, I'm terrified. but only because I want what's best for the country, not what's best for Obama.

[TeamJordan23]

38. She never did once say "You should vote for Obama" nm

[Beacool]

39. Hear, hear!!!!!!!!!! n/t

[sjdnb]

30. Sorry, but some not based on hate at all, just ??s

Like how the heck anyone could have voted for as many Republicans as Democrats over the last 35 years? (Oprah stated she had)

Now, I believe Obama's record would have served him well had he not jumped on the 'rock star/celebrity' bandwagon. He let ambition overrule his common sense/sense of duty/service. And, that is what I cannot support.

[cuke]

31. Wow, just f'ing wow...look at all the Obama whiners tonight. Oh my some people must be weak

One day and already they're whining

Wait until they start asking the hard questions about Obama's shifting rationales and right-wing rhetoric. He's picking a fight with Krugman. It's sure to be picked up by others in the MSM.

[TreasonousBastard]

34. It's back to work or school tomorrow, so it should...

calm down a bit. I hide most of the silliness when these waves of it show up.

[BenDavid]

36. In our lil' group of HRC supporters you will not find any hate

and not once have I written hate towards obama, cause if I did then the next thing I know I would be called a racist, a bigot. I have written that Oprah's support for Obama is all about race. She can gloss over it all she wants too but it was made clear yeaterday and today when she said, " People, he is the one"....Now why would Oprah say that well I honestly believe this was a follow up to what Mrs Obama said a few weeks back about black folks should support her husband for the simple reason, If You’re Black, Vote for Barack. Because He’s Black.Michelle Obama thinks that if her hubby doesn’t win, it’s because black folk don’t have enough self-esteem:

Follow along here folks and I will tie em together: Mrs. Obama: “First of all, I think that that’s not going to hold. I’m completely confident: black America will wake up, and get . But what we’re dealing with in the black community is just the natural fear of possibility. Now Oprah says to her audience that Obama is the One"


And Oprah should know better and Voting for a person because of the color of his skin is racist.It also is stupid.

Ben David

[loveangelc]

37. how the hell do you know that?

And did not Oprah say that infront of Iowa which is mostly white? I think your assuming that Oprah is backing Obama based on the fact that she said "he's the one" is infact somewhat racist, becase you just want to assume Oprah is backing him because they are both black (well black and half-black).

[snowbear]

40. Ben David, cut it out.

You're trying to stir up something where there is nothing.

Had Oprah endorsed your candidate, you wouldn't be making such ludicrous allegations.

Get your jammies on and let's stop the candidate bashing for the day..

[jenmito]

43. You KEEP misrepresenting what Michelle said...

You keep saying Michelle Obama said Black people should vote for her husband just because they're Black. But that's NOT what she said. She was asked about a middle-aged Black woman who said she likes Obama, and would LIKE to vote for him, but she probably won't because she doesn't think a Black person could win the presidency. Michelle was talking about that woman and other Black people who felt the same way. She did NOT say Black people should vote for Obama because he's Black. I'm sure Oprah feels the same way. And there have been other Black people running for president. She obviously wasn't inspired by them. She's inspired by Obama. Deal with it.

[Califooyah Operative]

41. It's not just today...

I returned about a month ago after a break and it was happening but this past week or two has been bad. The Clinton supporters are very nervous because they're now in danger of losing in all 4 early states. They're not helping they're case though.

[bpeale]

44. it's not obama i have a problem with. i HATE oprah

and my parents always said "you are who you associate with". 'nuff said.
